Premium
Composite Decking

From solid composite decking boards and cladding to DIY subframe systems, NexGEN is built for Australian weather conditions. Check out our product range below.

Premium PermaTech®
Composite Decking

NexGEN PermaTech® composite decking is the best choice for Australia’s climate. We offer our industry-first 50-year stain and fade warranty, combined with a lifetime performance guarantee on selected products. These guarantees are unmatched in Australia.

We can provide them because our PermaTech® composite timber is manufactured by Fiberon in the United States and sold in 30 countries across Europe, Asia, Oceania, Africa, and Central and South America.

What makes NexGEN PermaTech® different?

Technically, any mixed material board can be classified as a composite and marketed as a more durable alternative to timber – ‘composite’ just means a combination of materials. But to compare brands is to compare apples and oranges. The end result will not be the same between a softwood-filled or hollow composite product, and a premium, capped, hardwood-fill product like NexGEN PermaTech®. Choosing a quality product from the start ensures you can enjoy your decking project for years to come.

Watch: Achieve the natural look of timber, with a superior performance for long-lasting style.

What is composite decking?

“Composite” means something made up of different materials. Composite decking refers to a product made from some combination of organic (wood) and inorganic (plastic) material. The exact materials and composition differ between products, and there is a wide variety of niches across the market: some products are designed to be cheaper than timber, and others are designed and engineered to outperform timber. There is not usually crossover between these categories.

What is PermaTech®?

PermaTech® by NexGEN features advanced, high-performance surface layer protection. Our composite decking is engineered using ionomer polymers to offer exceptional durability and strength. Through a co-rotating extrusion process, it seamlessly bonds a proprietary cap to a hardwood and polyethylene core – resulting in a surface that’s highly resistant to stains, fading, and scratches. Even better, it consistently outperforms traditional decking materials.

Our PermaTech® composites beat timber decking in appearance, longevity, and performance

Working with Fiberon exclusively (known for superior manufacturing and performance), we are one of Australia’s most trusted decking suppliers – and for good reason.

The beauty of wood, with none of the hassle

Timber is beautiful when freshly installed – unfortunately, that beauty can be fleeting and requires a lot of upkeep. With NexGEN’s products, your deck surface has the appearance of your favourite natural wood without any of the usual downsides: sun exposure will not fade it, and you’ll never have to spend Saturdays sanding and re-finishing again. NexGEN PermaTech® composite decking stays looking good as the day you installed it, while the non-slip finish makes it safe and enjoyable for the entire family to spend time in your outdoor space.

Long-lasting, low-maintenance

Looking to spend less time taking care of your composite deck, and more time enjoying it? Try our ultra-low maintenance product, beloved by homeowners across Australia for its quality and exceptional durability.

Gordon and Patricia

“We needed a new deck because the timber deck we had was 25 years old and rotting. We found NexGEN and spoke to Roxanne who arranged for her and Jim to come and help with a measure and quote. Even though Jim was busy he was able to fit us in earlier than first discussed. Jim did a wonderful job and we now have a deck that will outlast both of us. Thank you Roxanne and Jim for all of your help”

Deb and Dave

“My husband and I were looking for a decking product that looked like real wood but without the maintenance as we are both busy shift workers. I found NexGen Decking and after much research and comparison with other similar products settled on what I consider to be the best out there. The initial contact with Roxanne was fantastic. Her professionalism and passion for the product sold us. When it came time for installation Jim was fabulous. A keen eye for detail, professional and wonderfully polite and easy to get along with. We both highly recommend NexGen Decking and will be looking to get Roxanne and Jim back to do our next project soon. Thanks again Roxanne and Jim. We will be in contact about the rear deck project a bit later in the year.”

Harry – Holland Park West, Queensland

“We’re beyond delighted with our newly transformed rooftop garden. NexGen was the perfect product for the job. The professionalism, support and communication provided by sales Manager Roxanne made a potentially stressful renovation, smooth and easy running. The installation was handled by Jim. The skill and pride taken in his work is to be admired and we’ll be forever grateful to have our home improved by such fantastic workmanship. My highest of recommendations to NexGen and team. Thank you!”

Jasen, Tarragindi Queensland

“We wanted to replace the cheap and deteriorated existing decking on a two year old home with an environmentally responsible, strong and quality sustainable product, so after much research and a few quotes we chose NexGEN Graphite decking. We couldn’t be happier, with the product that looks neat and tidy, strong and long lasting, and the incredible attention to detail of the install. Jim assembled our decks and did a remarkable and beautiful job, really taking the time to get it right the first time. Great value too and the competition just couldn’t match the value for money not to mention the warranty and support for the product. Highly recommended, and thanks to NexGEN for an easy purchase and install.”

Why Choose NexGEN PermaTech®?

An Extremely Durable and Eco-Friendly Alternative to Timber

NexGEN’s hardwood-filled PermaTech® composite decking consists of reclaimed wood fibres and recycled plastic.
Our exclusive Fiberon boards use recycled wood from cabinets, salvaged lumber, door frames, window trim, and other materials that were once headed for landfill. The plastic used is harvested from milk jugs, plastic bags, and detergent bottles, lessening the environmental impact. Our composite boards are also recyclable at the end of their lifetime, making them a more sustainable choice of material for your new deck.
